What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values inclusivity and offers opportunities for professional growth while allowing me to leverage my accessibility expertise.

I am an Accessibility Testing Specialist with over four years of experience dedicated to ensuring compliance with WCAG 2.1/2.2, Section 508, and MAS standards across various platforms including web, mobile, and documents. My expertise lies in utilizing assistive technologies and tools to conduct thorough accessibility evaluations, generating VPATs, and providing remediation guidance. I am proud to be a DHS Trusted Tester Certified professional, which underscores my commitment to accessibility and inclusive design.

In my current role as a Lead Engineer at HCL Technologies, I have successfully managed multiple accessibility projects from inception to completion, ensuring timely and quality delivery. My responsibilities include performing end-to-end accessibility testing, leading audits, and collaborating closely with developers to resolve defects. I take pride in my ability to train teams on accessibility best practices and deliver knowledge-sharing sessions that enhance our collective understanding of inclusive design.
